Canoo teams up with NASA to provide EV vans carrying astronauts to rockets

Canoo will produce a batch of all-electric vans to deliver NASA astronauts to space rockets, the company has just announced on its social pages.

A video accompanying the announcement shows a van train passing by carrying astronauts, who are played by Exploration Ground Systems employees in space suits. According to NASA requirements, each battery van has to be able to carry four fully equipped astronauts and any luggage they may need to take with them. The vehicle itself must be capable of at least 80 kilometers (50 miles) of range on a single charge, which is a rather lax requirement by modern standards. Then again, there is a distance of only around 15 kilometers (9.5 miles) from the NASA HQ to the launchpad.

The first Canoo EVs are expected to join the NASA fleet before next June. The mass-market version of the same van will go on sale later this year, offering around 400 kilometers (250 miles) of range.
